Description
The Advanced Digital Construction Management Systems (ADCMS) program is a funding opportunity provided by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) to promote the adoption of digital construction management systems and practices. The program aims to improve the efficiency, productivity, and safety of construction projects by leveraging digital technologies. The FHWA will award grants to state departments of transportation to support the development and deployment of ADCMS. The grants will be used to fund projects that demonstrate the application of ADCMS practices, performance, and benefits. The program has several goals, including accelerated state adoption of ADCMS, more timely and productive information sharing among stakeholders, deployment of digital management systems, and increased technology adoption and deployment by states and local governments.
• The ADCMS program is one aspect of the FHWA's multifaceted Technology and Innovation Deployment Program (TIDP).
• The program provides funding as an incentive for state departments of transportation to adopt and deploy ADCMS.
• The program has several administration goals, including safety, climate change and sustainability, workforce development, job quality, and wealth creation, and equity.
• The program requires cost sharing or matching, with a minimum federal share of $1,000,000 and a maximum federal share of $5,000,000 per award.
• The program has a period of performance of 1 to 4 years from the effective date of the grant award.
